Ingredients

  • 1 medium aubergine
  • 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil
  • 100 g Large couscous or Bulgur Wheat
  • 200 ml vegetable or chicken stock
  • 100 g cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • Handful of mint leaves finely chopped
  • 25 g Parmesan Cheese for making shavings
  • 1 Teaspoon lemon juice
  • Toasted Sesame Oil or Olive oil for drizzling
  • ¼ teaspoon Sesame Seeds
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the grill to a medium setting. Slice the Aubergines into rounds of about ½ cm thick and place them onto a baking tray. Brush with a little Olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Grill for about 10 - 15 mins, until browned and softened. Turning and brushing with more oil and seasoning halfway through cooking time.
  • Heat the stock in a medium pan and bring to a simmer, add the couscous and very gently simmer for about 10 mins or until the couscous is soft and tender. Do not overcook. Finer couscous will take less time to cook.
  • When cooked, take off the heat give it a stir to fluff up the couscous and leave to cool a little. If there is still some liquid stock remaining, but not too much, that’s fine.
  • Add the couscous to a serving dish along with the Aubergines, tomatoes, mint, Lemon juice, Sesame Seeds and a drizzle of Toasted Sesame Oil if using. Give everything a good mix. Taste and add more seasoning if needed.
  • Add shavings of Parmesan cheese before serving.
